And I take it you didnt hear the story of the black man who was shot with his arms in the air while he was helping a mentally handicapped man.

Every case and the circumstances are different. White people also get shot and kill by the Police a lot every year too. Media doest report as much since they don't get public attention. I guess that has nothing to do with race? Not every case of a Cop shooting a Black person is racist. Some are justify, some are unfortunate, and few are because of a White Cop really Hates the Black civilian. But that can be question too. But for the Black public, all is racist. For them a Black person can never be shot by a Cop or else is racist. And I guess that is how they will think and the Media from now on. I do agree that history has not been kind to Black people in this country. And yes there are other forms of racism and disadvantages. And that is a real struggle for a lot of Black people. Hopefully more Black people will lift them selves up from poverty and unfortunate community issues. Because if they keep waiting for the Whites to lift them up from these issues, I don't think that is going to happened or it will happened really slowly.

Possible. It was possible. Possible doesn't exonerate an innocent policeman. That's why all witnsseses found to be reliable backed up the story of the cop. Black witnesses and white witnesses alike. Brown charged the cop, and the opinion of the witnesses was that the officer's life was in danger.
Honestly, you have proven yourself incapable of evaluating evidence presented to you and accepted as the truth. If you want to go on perpetuating the lie that Michael Brown was some innocent teenager, fine. All that does is make it harder for the real cases of police brutality to be prosecuted.
Myself, I'd rather live in the real world. Where the evidence provided suggested that Brown had just committed a robbery with cannabis in his system and charged a cop, thus threatening the safety of the cop and, ultimately, himself.

A. White people are killed by the police, and white people should be outraged by that. Its not our fault yall dont care about your own dying  Police brutality is an issue and threat for everyone. But police brutality is compounded by racial profiling.
B. You bringing up poverty is disgusting and a typical talking point for racist, bigots, and white supremacist whenever black people raise their voice about an issue.
Who in this thread even mentioned poverty or implied that black people are waiting for white people to save us? What makes you think black people need saving? White people are the biggest beneficiaries of food stamps and welfare programs. They cant even save themselves let alone save us. We just want police to stop f*cking killing us.

I'm sure you've faced discrimination and racial bias. I'm sure you fear for your life whenever you encounter a police officer who might be racist against your skin color. Please everyone listen to this white mans opinion, he clearly gets it. I mean it must be tough as a white guy to hear about racism on the news all the time. F*ck those black people who actually deal with racism. Or have to hear about another black person getting killed. Or another racist incident or words by a white person in either schools or law enforcement or any facet of life at all. Or the fact that black people are at an extreme disadvantage due to racism of the past that persists today. We must forget all of that and remember how uncomfortable this white guy feels after hearing people talk about the injustice he will never understand. Not to mention the white people who are free to openly carry weapons, punch, curse out, and outright threaten police officers, and be taken safely into custody. Its clearly black people's fault for being a little too dark for their liking.

THANK YOU!

But if white, male, cops were so racist against POC .... then why aren't Asians and Hispanics getting shot like black men and women are? What is causing them to target mostly black male and females and not other POC?

You must be naive and ignorant if you think Latinos don't go through the same thing. Latinos can be black as well.

"Among minorities, the rate of police killings for Latinos is second to those of*African-Americans. As of today, an estimated 94 Latinos have been killed by police in 2016 alone, making up*16 percent of the 585*police-involved*killings this year. *In contrast, people who are black or African-American are only*13.3 percent of the U.S. population, and 144 black Americans have been killed by police in 2016."

I'm losing faith in humanity.
I just don't understand why certain people don't get it. I don't get what they're thinking or what's going on inside their minds when they defend an innocent black man being wrongly slaughtered through no fault of his own. I mean, how messed up in the head do you have to be to defend that? Do they have no humanity? Or maybe they just don't see black people as humans. They see black people as an animal who don't deserve the same respect and rights as those with the same colour skin as them.
I mean, I was going to use this post to explain why everything nowadays is about race, but I just don't see the point. They'll never listen or learn. They will stay their bigoted evil selves regardless of what anyone says to them.
I'm so thankful I'm not like them. I'm so thankful that I had people in my life who educated me on these issues, and the need to treat every human with the same level of respect.

Can I ask you a serious question, do you know anything about American history? I will seriously educate you if you need, just PM me.
Being 100% serious. No one should be this uninformed.

First of all, stereotypes. There are many stereotypes associated w/ criminal behaviour within the black community such as 'gangs/hood culture' in comparison to Asian stereotypes.
There has been plenty of circumstances of when the police have been racist/discriminatory to hispanics. There was a tape recording of an American police officer saying he wants someone to kill blacks and hispanics. And in the U.K, south Asians can also get victimised by the police (I don't know about the US). Just because a cop doesn't like black people doesn't mean he's also gonna target Asians or hispanics. Vice versa for that
But TBH at the end of the day, in the eyes of white racists, all PoC are the same and share one thing in common - inferior to white people

Okay. So say if one white man is killed by the police to every 100 black men, you don't think there's a problem there?

Correction. Unarmed black people shouldn't be shot, or else it's safe to assume that said shooter is a racist. If they're not, they're still an unequipped officer who shouldn't be doing said job.

If you know anything about instutionalised racism, you'll understand why so many black people are in poverty and why there are so many 'community issues'. I'm sure you're capable of researching this yourself?

Asians have the benefit of having positive stereotypes about them and that might seen great and dandy but they're STILL considered lesser than white people in America let's not get it twisted. Being "almost" equal or more equal than other races is not this huge victory that people make it seem to be
I also am pretty sure Hispanics face the same thing but not to quite the same degree as black people
